Independent Forensic Gang Expert | Ph.D. Student | Researcher | Youth Advocate

I am a first-generation doctoral student in Criminology, Law & Society at the University of California, Irvine, an Independent Forensic Gang Expert trained through Loyola Marymount Law School, and a community advocate committed to understanding gangs, incarceration, social media evidence, digital surveillance, and criminal legal system involvement. My work bridges lived experience, academic research, and legal advocacy to support attorneys, researchers, policymakers, youth organizations, and system-impacted communities.
